Transport
Exercise particular caution when transporting the units. Since the unit
weighs 232 kg or more, at least two people are required for transport.
Do not use the packaging straps to carry the unit. Wear protective
gloves for unpacking and transporting the unit to prevent hand injuries
from cooling fins or other parts.
Observe the transport information on the packaging.
Observe the specified storage requirements.
The units may not be stacked.
Machine may only be lifted at the provided attachment points.
Machine may only be transported in upright position.
Ensure proper disposal of packaging materials. Packaging materials,
such as nails or other metal or wooden parts, may cause injuries.
Please also read chapter "General safety information“.
5.1
Transport to installation site
Units of the EcoTouch DS 5050T series are delivered ready-to-connect with
separate metal cladding. For transport purposes, the metal cladding and
the heat pump are delivered in one carton on a palette. During transport it
must be ensured that appropriate means of transport are used (lift truck,
transport rollers, handcart).
Unit must be transported upright!
Transport in tilted position (45°) is permitted only temporarily during inser-
tion.
Horizontal transport results in oil displacement in compressor and can
cause damage during start-up.
After packaging is removed or opened it is not permitted to tilt the unit by
applying pressure to the pipelines or housing enclosure; this could result in
bent housing parts and pipelines.
